Meeting Buddha

Sometimes I reach a place
where I don't know what
hour it is, let alone the day.

It is a blissful place,
a place of ocean calm
with waves of electric smiles
and fires of warm chills.

It is a place poised
at the crossroads of choice
where myriad arches beckon
and a decision must be made.

There is one way
where no foot trods,
there by the river
sitting on the ground.
